Cha Jun-young. That guy showed up.... more>>

“It’s been a while, Choi Bom.”

It’s been a year since I ended our long eight-year relationship. A year since I walked away from the wounds he left behind. Today was supposed to mark a new beginning—a day I finally decided to embrace a fresh start and open my heart to a new love. But of all days, why today?

And of all places, why here?

He appeared as a student at the art academy where I work, throwing my newfound resolve into disarray.

“You… Why are you here?”

There’s no way he’s here to learn art. He must have another motive. His enigmatic gaze held mine for a moment, and then he said something completely unexpected:

“To save you.” <<less

"I will serve as a replacement for Lady Daton."... more>>

"...What did you just say?"

"I said I will take Lady Daton's place. I will go to the capital with you."

I made a deal with a man who couldn’t forget his lover, under the pretense of paying off a debt.

Of my own accord, I stepped into his trap.

I never knew that would be my downfall.

***

The more I lived day by day, the stranger it felt.

Why do she and I both paint the same pictures?

Why do we both fear water so much?

Is it truly a coincidence that we, two different people, are so similar?

If it is a coincidence,

Who does he truly love?

Who exactly is this "Pheria" he speaks of?

That’s why I decided to leave him.

To understand what his dreadful puppet game was for. <<less

Parasite. ... more>>

That had been Margarita's nickname for a long time. The last descendant of the Isirian royal family, living as a parasite within the Castor imperial palace.

A shameless freeloader engaged to Crown Prince Allen solely due to her inheritance rights, despite having nothing else to her name.

Exhausted by the contempt and disregard, Margarita vented her fury on Allen.

“Do you think people are kind to you because they like you? It’s only because you’re the Crown Prince!”

Margarita prided herself on being the only one who could despise the beloved Allen. That was her sense of self-worth and the driving force of her life.

No matter how great you are. No matter how much the nobles look down on me. I’m still the one standing beside you.

She was foolish. She should have realized sooner that nothing in this world lasts forever. Branded a traitor and executed, Margarita returns to her childhood.

Seeing young Allen’s face made her want to strangle him. She wanted to demand answers: Why? Why did you kill me?

“Thank you… for your concern.”

Stay calm. If you act as you did before, you’ll be killed again. Remember the people who risked their lives to protect a nobody like you.

“I’m sorry. I’ve been so rude to you until now.”

Instead of baring her claws and protecting her pride, Margarita lowered her head and apologized. She had to hide the blade in her heart, crawl like a dog, and marry him at any cost.

However...

“I will marry Margarita. I want to die as her husband. That is my final wish.”

Just when she thought she could finally be happy, Allen dies of illness.

As Margarita falls into despair, Oberon appears before her. For some reason, he reminds her of Allen... <<less

Eight hundred years ago, Xie Lian was the Crown Prince of the Xian Le kingdom. ... more>>

Now, eight hundred years later, Xie Lian ascends to the Heavens for the third time as the laughing stock among all three realms.

Two ruthless beasts want one woman. Their blind greed is pure, and it stands in the way of Han Seo-yeon, whose future is blocked by it. “If I can’t have you, I’ll make your life miserable enough to make you kneel.” The end of cruel obsession—will it be a tragedy, or salvation?... more>>

The First Beast, Shin Jung-hyuk

Jung-hyuk watched Seo-yeon’s trembling eyelashes with a languid expression. When he lifted the corners of his lips, his wicked smile deepened.

“Han Seo-yeon, why do I feel good when you’re angry?” He admitted it willingly. If it’s his fate to kneel and kiss the goddess’s feet, he’s ready to accept it. Who knows? Perhaps the goddess, in a good mood, might gently spread her legs and show him the valley of pleasure.

The Second Beast, Shin Jin-hyuk

Jin-hyuk, now a charming male, had prepared himself to defile the pure Seo-yeon.

“Mr. Han, how was it?”

“…What are you asking about?”

“How did it feel, the first time? Everything is exciting when it’s new.”

The midday sun shattered through the conference room window. Jin-hyuk slowly savored the sunlight reflected in Seo-yeon’s pupils. The dazzling light looked so lonely, like a trophy, and in silence, Jin-hyuk expressed his feelings. <<less

Yu Ziyou and Zhong Wan served different masters.... more>>

They had once been the closest of souls, and were the bitterest of enemies.

After losing the fight for the throne, Zhong Wan brought his two young masters with him far toward the borders for the sake of survival. He relied on the little friendship that existed between him and Yu Ziyou when they were young. He borrowed some of his personal belongings while also dropping various hints around which made everyone think that there was something intimate going on between them.

Given the Yu Clan’s powerful authoritative presence in the imperial court, this appearance of a close tie allowed Zhong Wan to live a much better life than before. As such, the stories he cooked up began to carry more and more weight.

As rumors of their lovely romance spread a thousand miles into the horizon, Yu Ziyou, who was located in the distant capital city, eventually caught wind of his deeply moving and epic love affair. In a trance, Yu Ziyou, who had been completely brainwashed for seven years, believed in them. He guessed something special really did happen between them back in those years… <<less

When a mortal encounters difficulties and separation in life, he can resort to praying to the god and to the Buddha – but what if one is an immortal?... more>>

She lost the memories she had of the three hundred years before the Catastrophe of Chaos occurred, which caused her to forget the love that was buried deep in her heart.

But she will never forget how this person quietly stayed by her side for sixty thousand years. She will never forget the thousands of years he spent in the Northern Sea, frozen in time. She will never forget how he stood on Qinglong Terrace, enduring the pain of having his bones crushed and body burnt. She will never forget how he chose to shatter his spirit into a million pieces, turning himself into ash, just so she could live.

Now, in the desolation of the Nine provinces and the loneliness of the Three Realms, she was the only figure standing on Gan Kun Platform.

In this lifetime, she is able to stand in front of all the immortals and gods. She is able to stand in front of the innumerable people and spirits living in the Nine provinces and Eight Lands. She is able to stand in front of her deceased father, God Qing Tian. But she couldn’t stand straight and prove herself worthy in front of one person.

She owes him so much more than one hundred and thirty thousand years. She is indebted to him for more than three lifetimes.

This time, she would be the one waiting for him to return. Even if millions of years pass, she would never, ever leave. <<less

In return, Yeon-ah received a cornea transplant, but unfortunately, she fell for her husband who was about to divorce her.

On the day of her divorce, he asked her to say one last thing she wanted.

“ I want to have one night with Joo-hyuk.”

She somehow managed to catch him, but all she got in return was a cold silence.

As she was about to turn around in resignation, he stopped her and asked firmly.

“The divorce papers will be written as scheduled. Are you okay with that? Are you sure you won’t regret doing this?” I don’t regret it. Before she could answer, he accepted.

“Then take it, my night.” <<less

Then, Song Juyao was reborn. This time, her memory was not suppressed.

This was a crazy world. People were discontent and bored of their lives. They had also lost their enthusiasm for various kinds of entertainment, falling to the point of seeking all sorts of thrills in order to arouse their emotions.

Later, they found a precious treasure. She was perfect. They held her in the palm of their hands and went wild for her. They even regarded her as a God and worshipped her fanatically. <<less

‘Why did you deceive me?’

As she approached him, the scent of alcohol mixed with his fragrance filled the air.

It made Cincie’s heart flutter and ache at the same time.

‘Was it fun? Falling in love with me and then planning to cruelly abandon me?’

She was burning like fire, but he was letting his heart flow like water.

‘Was I ever the kind of person to fall in love like that? No way.’

‘Razey Millo, you’re truly…’

‘Even if I die, you’ll live without batting an eye, won’t you?’

Wen Ze is reborn.

In his previous life, he was in a car accident and had only a breath left when his mother revealed her true form, forcibly breaking off the tip of the ginseng.

He then learns that his mother was a ginseng plant.

Because of this ginseng tip, he didn't die but spent decades lying in bed.

However, when his mother transformed unexpectedly, she was seen by the Wen family and taken away.

As the son of his mother, his blood was found to be miraculous. He was kept by the Wen family and became a blood-making machine.

Wen Ze swears to protect his mother as the only man in the family.

As days pass, his mother becomes more beautiful, and those who wronged them receive their retribution.

But who is this unfamiliar man outside the door?

He dares to impersonate his father, who lies buried ten meters under!

"You old man, get out! My mom isn't blind."

"Stay away from my mom and don't interfere with me finding a handsome and wealthy young dad."

After going through hardships, Wen Chen returns, imagining he can sleep with his fragrant and soft wife at night.

But the next moment, he's rejected at the door, unable to even enter the house. He looks incredulous: "Darling, don't you love me anymore?"

He Yu frowns: "No, I don't. Leave me alone; I want to rest."

Wen Chen feels struck by lightning, pulling his shirt buttons like a peacock: "I don't believe it! I don't believe it! Darling, didn't you say you loved me the most?"

He Yu glances at him calmly: "That was before. Now, I've changed my preferences."

Wen Chen: "I don't believe it."

Guomen, 過門/过门, meaning marriage in Chinese. If explained literally, it means going past the gates/door-a reference to the Bible(see above).

“Through the Strait Gates”: to me, it’s the best way to explain it.

Chu Qing's biggest regret in her senior year of high school was that, as an underachiever, she dated the academic superstar Qi Weichen, resulting in her being forced to study for the entire first semester.... more>>

After enduring for half a year, she finally broke up with him. But the next second, they both time-traveled 23 years into the future, becoming classmates with their 18-year-old son—

Yes, the son was their biological child.

Chu Qing looked at the young man before her, who was five parts like herself and five parts like Qi Weichen, and broke down.

What was even more devastating was that their son took after her and was also an underachiever.

Even more crushing was that after they both ranked at the bottom in several exams, Qi Weichen forcibly dragged them to start tutoring sessions, the kind where they'd be punished if they didn't study well.

After being punished multiple times, the underachieving son angrily rebelled: "Why do I have to copy lines when I get questions wrong, while she only has to kiss you?!"

Qi Weichen: "What else then?"

Underachieving son: "I want to kiss you too!" (puckers his lips)

Qi Weichen: "...Get lost."

To avoid torture, the underachieving mother-son duo decided to help each other. So one day, classmates discovered the second-to-last in class teaching the last place student.

Classmates: ...One dares to teach, the other dares to listen.

This is probably a story of 'a family of three holding hands, whoever scores poorly is the dog'. <<less

They met in their teenage years, two bright stars colliding in the night sky. They fell in love, and together they passed the happiest days of their lives. But all good things must come to an end, and they eventually broke up.

Time passed, and they lost contact. They grew up apart, each going their own way. But even though they were apart, they never forgot their first love.

One day, they met again by chance. They were both on blind dates, and they found themselves sitting across from each other. They were both surprised by how much they had changed. They were no longer the carefree teenagers they once were. They had grown up, and they had experienced the pain of loss and heartbreak.

But would they be able to go back to where they started from? Could they pick up where they left off, ten years later?

Only time would tell. But one thing was for sure: their story was far from over. <<less

“I don’t know yet whether I want to spend the rest of my life with you or not. But one thing is for sure, I want to sleep with you.”

Juice dripped and his hands became sticky, but he didn’t care. The noon light came into the drawing-room in June’s middle of the day. The sun was shading his face, making it difficult to see his expression.

White, cold hands carefully peeled off the peach skin and put it directly into my mouth. As I took a bite of the peach, his long fingers lightly touched my lips. I can’t forget that moment.

After experiencing the divorce of her parents, and miserably failing the college entrance examination, she gets kidnapped along with her little follower of a male lead, Chi Shen. In the end, she came out as the only survivor.

Everyone believed that this was a blessing in disguise, not only was her life saved, but the pe*vert stalking her for the last three years was also gone! A freak like Chi Shen, who had a weird and eccentric personality, always stank of fish and grease, was better off dead. Everyone said that she ought to be grateful, but none of them knew he died protecting her.
Before he took his last breath, his dying words were-

“Don’t be afraid of me.”

That sentence, mixed with the smell of greasy fish and blood, flashed in her dreams every night for the next decade.

Reborn back into the senior year of her highschool, she walked to the youth in the corner, and in front of everyone’s eyes-

“Don’t hideaway in the dark if you don’t want me to be afraid of you.” The youth pursed his lips, his pale face steadily losing color.

My older brother, who was my only family member, lost his memory.... more>>

“I have a sibling? Are you kidding me?”

He was a fool who cared for me ever since he brought me from the temple…

“I can’t even take care of myself, so what is this…”

I left the family because I didn’t want to be a burden to my older brother, who had no memory, and was helpless in the tragedy that followed.

So I turned back time.

That too, to the point when my brother lost his memory.

“I don’t have anything in my head, so I don’t know what to do next. What if I have a kid with me?”

We must not repeat the tragedy of the past life. So I grimly said,

“That’s right. I don’t have anything on my brother’s head right now.”

“…What, what?”

I chuckled and took out a document I had prepared. The contents of the document, written in crooked, large letters, were simple.

[I transfer all the property in my name to my younger sister.]

While my gaping older brother was checking the documents, I took out his seal from his drawer and smeared it with ink.

Then I put it in his hand and said with a very sad expression.

“So stamp it. Now.”

I will protect you in this life. <<less

The traitorous general Gu Mang was returning to his homeland. Everyone wanted to see him dead, and it was said that the one who hated him most was his former best friend—the cold and ascetic Young Master Mo. ... more>>

The rumours said: Young Master Mo prepared three hundred and sixty-five methods of torture to interrogate him with, just waiting to try them out on Gu Mang. They were so varied it was more than enough to toy with him for a year without repetition.

Except these rumours were very quickly forbidden by Young Master Mo. The reason given was that they described him as a lunatic, and were severely inconsistent with reality.

So what was the truth?

The truth was even more unspeakable—

Mo Xi’s identity: the most abstinent commander of the empire.

His relationship with the traitor Gu Mang: they’d slept together before. <<less
